My mama has #Alzheimerโs
She no longer knows my name, but she does know my place with my sisters and I. She says to me, โYouโre my baby!โ
These words will stay with me forever.
I hate this disease with all my heart.
I am literally watching her disappearโฆ

The #BlueSkyArtShow theme this week is #Vibrant Alzheimer's steals so much from a family. Me & mom at a photo shoot in the 80's. Sadly I can't ask her who the photographer is. It is lost to this horrible disease. Memories are full #livelifetothefullest #alzheimerssucks She was so vibrant...

I took this pic when I was 11 with my Kodak Instamatic on a road trip to Canada. I remember my dad singing Benny & the Jets as we cruised through the mountains in his Trans Am. He would have been 80 today. I miss you, dad โค๏ธ #dad #grief #memories #alzheimerssucks

I love my folks so of course I enjoy spending time with them, plus I can help out my dad. This trip was rough though
This visit was less about wanting to and more about having to. My brother and I are trying to get as much time in with my mom as we can while she still remembers us. #AlzheimersSucks

And so it begins. Sorting, culling & moving non-essentials into storage until house sells & we move. Now ๐ค๐ผ๐ค๐ผ tRumpโs bullshit doesnโt affect the market too much, making real estate sales slow down. New, unplanned phase of life, but sometimes you gotta zig to the zag๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ #AlzheimersSucks

2 - It's so hard hearing your mother say "my kids are pieces of shit" I know it's just the disease talking but it's still hard to hear. Trying to stay positive but damn it's hard. #Alzheimerssucks

This woman right hereโฆSybil Hicks my mother! Inspired me everyday to be all I could be! She advocated for those in need and did so much for her community in Muskoka! My sister wrote this book and she is now my inspiration! She does amazing things in small town Alberta.

I went to go take Mum out for coffee this afternoon. I was screamed at for my efforts and told that I needed to, โThink about how bloody old..โ she is.
How dare I come in the middle of the night?
It was 12:55pm
So, I guess we arenโt going out for coffee.

This year has been really hard. I am grateful my dad is still here. Iโm grateful for the support of my husband, family and friends but seriously itโs been more sad than happy. I wish next year would be better but itโs hard to believe it would be. #Alzheimerssucks

My father looked like he was sleeping peacefully this morning. No more pain and confusion. I'm sure he's much happier now, dancing in the stars. โจ๐บ๐โจ
There's no graceful way to say it. #AlzheimersSucks

Sometimes, I wish someone would tell me I'm doing a good job taking care of my mom. It's easy to be overly critical of myself. #Alzheimers #Alzheimerssucks

Music can be so uplifting. My mom and mother-in-law both suffer from dementia and some days their moods are quite negative, but I find playing music that they connect with can break the mood and offers them a โreset.โ #AlzheimersSucks #DementiaHacks

Today when I visited my mom, she was convinced that I was "leaving the convent." Hugely confusing (but hilarious) on so many levels.
But she did assure me that while I was going through 'the change," she would help me out financially. At least some of my mom is still left in there. #AlzheimersSucks
